Tejashwi Yadav named leader of 'Mahagathbandhan' in Bihar assembly
PATNA: Lawmakers of the opposition 'Mahagathbandhan' in Bihar on Saturday unanimously elected Tejashwi Yadav of the RJD as the coalition's leader in the state legislature. The decision was taken at a meeting hosted by Yadav here ahead of the five-day session of the legislature, beginning on Monday, during which all the newly elected members of the 243-strong assembly will be sworn in. Talking to reporters after the meeting, RJD MLA Bhai Virendra said, Tejashwi Yadav has been elected leader of the 'Mahagathbandhan' in the state legislature. Of course, he will also be leader of our party in the assembly. Congress MLC Samir Kumar Singh, who is also a working president of the party's state unit, said he decision on Tejashwi Yadav was unanimous. We have sufficient numbers, and he shall be the leader of the opposition as well. The 'Mahagathbandhan' was decimated in the recent assembly polls, which saw the ruling NDA retaining power by bagging 202 seats. At the meeting, members of both Houses of the legislature voiced concern over the manner in which the elections were held. These were anything but free and fair. SIR, which was first held in Bihar, remains a questionable exercise. No wonder, there is so much of political friction in a state like West Bengal, Singh said. The Congress leader added: We will continue to raise our voice inside the House on all issues concerning the people. We will confront the BJP-led coalition if it tries to backtrack on promises made during the elections. Power of Six! How the NDA succeeded in hitting the MGB out of the park in Bihar polls

NOIDA: A 25-year-old woman was shot dead allegedly by her partner, with police suspecting that he killed her after she refused to marry him. The accused is absconding, and multiple teams have been formed to nab him, they added. According to police, the incident took place in the Phase 2 area on Friday evening when Krishna (26) opened fire at his girlfriend Sonu (25) at her paying guest accommodation here, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Noida) Shakti Mohan Avasthy said.

Every seat won by Congress in Bihar Assembly polls was because of RJD: Mangani Lal Mandal
PATNA: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) state president Mangani Lal Mandal said on Saturday that all seats that Congress won in the recently held state assembly polls were because of RJDs support. The remark comes hours before a joint meeting of the Opposition INDIA bloc allies in the state capital to discuss strategy for the special session of the Bihar legislature, beginning December 1. Talking to media persons, Mandal said that if the Bihar Congress intended to adopt a 'different' way, it was free to do so. Congress will get to know its real strength on the ground when it fights the elections alone. RJD has a strong support base, which is reflected in the election results, he said, adding that RJDs alliance partners only benefit from it. To buttress his statement, Mandal said that Congress had contested 71 seats in the previous 2020 assembly election, and it could win only 19 seats due to the continuous support of RJD. He said the Congress reviewed the partys poor performance in the 2025 election at a high-level meeting held in New Delhi, in which it blamed the RJD for its defeat. Dismissing the RJD state presidents claim, Congress spokesperson Asitnath Tiwari asked, Congress has been a spent force in Bihar, why RJD choose to contest the elections in alliance with the grand old party? Another Congress leader, Gyan Ranjan, said that if Mandal has to say anything, he should raise it at the right platform and not before the media. Rebels blame Bihar Congress leaders for poll debacle Congress leaders said that Mandal should convey his feelings to Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, chairperson of the INDIA blocs coordination committee, for Bihar assembly elections. Statement in the media will not serve any purpose, Congress leaders said, adding that every ally of Mahagathabandhan was analysing reasons for its defeat in the elections. When asked whether Congress would part ways with RJD, Congress MP and former state president Akhilesh Prasad Singh said the decision would rest entirely with the central leadership of the party. The leaders of the party held a review meeting in New Delhi to get feedback on the partys debacle in the Bihar polls, he said. While Congress could win only six out of 61 seats it contested in the 2025 assembly elections, RJD could win 25 out of 143 seats. Meanwhile, former minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Syed Shanawaz Hussain took a jibe at the internal conflict within the Mahagathbandhan after the political debacle in the Bihar assembly elections. Hussain said, They were fighting with each other before the elections and are doing the same thing after the poll results. He described the alliance between RJD and Congress as unholy and said that it was stitched together to derive political gains. It was bound to happen as their ties were meant for political gains and not on any ideology, he asserted. Meanwhile, a joint meeting of the Mahagathbandhan is scheduled to be held at Tejashwi Yadavs Polo Road residence after his return from Delhi. The meeting will discuss the Oppositions strategy for the special session of the legislature.

On the opening day of FAP National Awards 2025, 782 schools, teachers, principals and meritorious students from 18 States & UTs were felicitated with the awards. During the inaugural ceremony, 20 awards were given for Lifetime Achievement, Academic Achievement, Pride of India- Academic Achievement and Pride of India- Sports Achievement Awards. In all, Lifetime Achievement Award was given to 50 principals and teachers, Pride of India- Academic Achievement Awards were given to 315 awards students of 105 schools and 41 schools were given awards for achievements in sports.

These Awards will be given in four categories including The Best School Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, Pride of School Award and The Best Student Award (Pride of India) for their futuristic vision and meritorious achievements in the domains of academic, sports, cultural and social contribution. In his inaugural address, Governor of Haryana, Prof Ashim Kumar Ghosh said, “ Private sector plays a pivotal role in elevating the standard of school education in our country. Of about 14.72 lakh schools in India, there are 3.40 lakh private schools which account for 23% of the total schools. I strongly feel that an organization like FAP must come forward in ensuring the children from weaker sections of society have their fair representation in private schools as well which will further promote equity and inclusiveness in education .” “ Our progress in education also reflects the visionary leadership of our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji under whom historic reforms have strengthened India's position as a global education hub. The PM Shree scheme has modernized over 4,500 schools providing world class infrastructure and access. The National Education Policy has placed research, innovation, and knowledge at the center of learning. As a result, India's ranking in the Global Innovation Index has improved from 81 in 2014 when Prime Minister Modi ji had come to power to 39 in 2025 which is a remarkable achievement. Patent filings have grown up by 31% and India now ranks 4th globally with 1.3 million academic research publications in the last five years. The government's decision to reduce patent application fee is by 80% for institutions has accelerated this change ,” the Governor added. Prof Ashim Kumar Ghosh further said, “ Moreover, the education budget has risen from Rs 79,451 Crore in 2014 to a historic figure of Rs Rs 1,28,650 Crore in 2025-26. As we honor today's achievers let us reaffirm our collective commitment to shaping a brighter more innovative and inclusive future for India's children .” Commending the award recipients for their significant contributions in shaping the minds of the youth, Satnam Singh Sandhu, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Chancellor of Chandigarh University, said, “ As an educationist, I can say that whatever change that has come in the society has come because of teachers. Our visionary Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s has given the vision of a Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat by 2047. I am sure the biggest role in realizing this vision will be played by the provided educational institutions and private school teachers because it is not possible for government to do everything or even fulfil the need of quality education which is being fulfilled by the private institutions for making this vision a reality. So today India has emerged from the 11th largest economy in the world to become the fourth largest economy. Even children from the poorest of the poor backgrounds can touch the heights of progress with the power of education. Five years ago, no one had thought that private schools would get the same honor and respect as government schools. Which has been possible through these FAP Awards. ” “ Children from the poorest of backgrounds can touch the skies of progress with the power of education. Affectionate and devoted teachers play the most important role in giving strength to the flight of children. The new National Education Policy 2020 aims to make India a Global Knowledge Superpower. Our educational institutions and teachers have to contribute actively in school education, higher education and skill education to achieve this goal. I am sure our teachers will establish India as a Global Knowledge Superpower with their crucial contribution ,” he added. Dr G Immanuel, Chairman of Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE) said, “ Now around the world now there is a lot of competition happening and every school education board is trying to compete from with other board. The best practices are being transferred easily. Most of the boards are going for STEAM education now. Earlier, STEM education which means Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education was followed. Now, to this we added Art. Art is very important because Art is part of everything. In STEM education, Art is being added to make it more collaborative, more useful for everybody .” Warning against the dangers of digital information, Dr G Immanuel said, “ Learning doesn't happen and only within the school premises in the schools, colleges or universities. It happens everywhere anyway with lots of information freely flowing. Now one has to regulate this. Unless we regulate this information to decide which information should be taken in and which information should not be taken in, it may affect and cause a problem. Therefore, as educators we need to reach out to the children and have some regulatory system as unregulated information may cause a lot of havoc for everybody. Now, digital information is causing problems for everybody. There are countries and universities around the world who are going back to physical books and physical way of teaching because e-books, smart boards, they are causing lot of problems. ” In his address, President of FAP Dr Jagjit Singh Dhuri said, “ Private schools are playing a pivotal role in school education. But despite this, the contribution of private schools in India’s transformation in the education sector was ignored and the teachers at private schools were not given due recognition for the crucial role they are playing in providing quality education with utmost dedication and hard work. So, the purpose of FAP awards is to give due recognition to private schools and their teachers in society with these awards. This initiative not only recognizes the efforts of private schools who have reached the pinnacles but also encourages other schools to compete for achievements in the fields of academics, sports, cultural heritage, infrastructure and facilities .” “ We are honoured that FAP has become the only educational federation in the world to award 11001 management members, principals, teaching and non-teaching staff and students from across India with FAP National Awards between 2021 to 2025 for achievements in academic, sports and cultural domains at no financial cots to any recipient. The award for this record was presented to us today by Dr Aravind Lakshminarayanan, CEO of Nobel World Records Private Limited, during inauguration of the 5th edition of the FAP National Awards 2025 which is matter of great joy and satisfaction for us ,” he added.

Bihar CM Nitish disburses Rs 1,000 cr among 10 lakh women beneficiaries of entrepreneurship scheme
PATNA: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday disbursed Rs 1,000 crore among 10 lakh beneficiaries of the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana, which is aimed at promoting entrepreneurship among the state's women. Kumar, who was recently voted back to power for a record fifth consecutive term, gave away Rs 10,000 to each beneficiary, through the DBT system, from his official residence, in the presence of cabinet colleagues and top officials. Speaking to reporters after the function, Rural Development Minister Shravan Kumar said, A total of 1.56 crore women have received the money so far. The beneficiaries are being encouraged to use the sum for self-employment. Those who do so demonstrably will in due course get further assistance of Rs 2 lakh each, he added. Notably, the scheme was launched in September, about a month before assembly polls were announced, at a function which was attended, in the virtual mode, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Money was disbursed among beneficiaries in batches and the process continued after the elections were announced, evoking allegations from the opposition that votes were being purchased. The scheme is said to have paid rich electoral dividends as women turned up to vote in unprecedented numbers and the ruling NDA retained power with a brute majority. The minister was also asked about complaints of women who have not received the money despite having applied for the scheme and allegations that officials involved in filling up of forms were demanding bribes from applicants. He replied, The scheme makes it clear that recipients of the aid must get registered with a Jeevika self-help group in their area. Those who have not done so are being persuaded to do the needful, and they will get the benefit. Allegations of corruption are being made by Opposition parties like RJD and Jan Suraaj Party, which showed no scruples in demanding Rs 20,000 from those who wished to join the outfits, he added.

Congress Bihar meet sees heated debate over selling of tickets, friendly fights
NEW DELHI: Discontent within the Bihar Congress surfaced sharply at the partys first post-election review meeting, where several candidates flagged flaws in ticket allocation, selling of tickets and friendly fights between allies as main reasons for the humiliating defeat in the recent Assembly polls. The closed-door meeting, held at the party headquarters, was attended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi. Incidentally, Congress General Secretary (Organisation) K C Venugopal and AICC Bihar Observer Krishna Allavaru were conspicuously absent from the review meetings. The meeting came weeks after the Congress suffered a severe drubbing in Bihar, securing only six seats out of the 61 seats it contested. According to sources, the partys six newly elected MLAs were given one-on-one meetings with Kharge and Gandhi to present their assessments. Meanwhile, the candidates who lost were asked to meet the leadership in batches to brief them about the constituency-level failures and organisational lapses. Speaking to this paper, newly elected Araria MLA Abidur Rahman said he urged the high command to take strict action against those he believes were responsible for the Congresss collapse in Bihar. I have submitted the names of the leaders who are responsible, Rahman said. However, I do not wish to disclose them to the media at this stage. He added that despite being one of the most senior leaders of the party from the Seemanchal region, he himself was initially denied a ticket. There have been instances of ticket selling, and several deserving workers were ignored, said Rahman. Such decisions demotivated cadres, he said, adding that the party must confront these issues head-on if it hopes to rebuild its credibility among voters. Sources said that several candidates attributed the poll setback to discrepancies in ticket allocation, internal factionalism, friendly fights between contenders, and the decision to grant nominations to turncoats who had joined the party shortly before polls.
